| When you attend a funeral,
|
| It is sad to think that sooner or later
|
| Those you love will do the same for you.
|
| And you may have thought it tragic,
|
| Not to mention other adjec- tives,
|
| To think of all the weeping they will do.
|
| But don’t you worry.
|
| No more ashes, no more sackcloth.
|
| And an armband made of black cloth
|
| Will some day nevermore adorn a sleeve.
|
| For if the bomb that drops on you
|
| Gets your friends and neighbors too,
|
| There’ll be nobody left behind to grieve.
|
| And we will all go together when we go.
|
| What a comforting thought that is to know.
|
| Universal bereavement,
|
| An inspiring achievement,
|
| Yes, we will all go together when we go.
|
| We will all go together when we go.
|
| All suffuse with an incandescent glow.
|
| No one will have the endurance
|
| To collect on his insurance,
|
| Lloyd’s of London will be loaded when they go.
|
| Oh we will all fry together when we fry.
|
| We’ll be french fried potatoes by and by.
|
| There will be no more misery
|
| When the world is our rotisserie,
|
| Yes, we will all fry together when we fry.
|
| Down by the old maelstrom,
|
| There’ll be a storm before the calm.
|
| And we will all bake together when we bake.
|
| There’ll be nobody present at the wake.
|
| With complete participation
|
| In that grand incineration,
|
| Nearly three billion hunks of well-done steak.
|
| Oh we will all char together when we char.
|
| And let there be no moaning of the bar.
|
| Just sing out a Te Deum
|
| When you see that I.C.B.M.,
|
| And the party will be «come as you are.»
|
| Oh we will all burn together when we burn.
|
| There’ll be no need to stand and wait your turn.
|
| When it’s time for the fallout
|
| And Saint Peter calls us all out,
|
| We’ll just drop our agenda and adjourn.
|
| You will all go directly to your respective Valhallas.
|
| Go directly, do not pass Go, do not collect two hundred dolla’s.
|
| And we will all go together when we go.
|
| Ev’ry Hottenhot and ev’ry Eskimo.
|
| When the air becomes uranious,
|
| We will all go simultaneous.
|
| Yes we all will go together
|
| When we all go together, |
